Alternative to the tunnel

Highlight • Trail

Avoid the tunnels and galleries where you can - it's not really fun in there between the cars. Make sure you have good light on your bike during the day - otherwise it becomes dangerous.

Monument to the Alpini of Maccagno

Highlight • Monument

Maccagno is a small town of 2,000 inhabitants located on the Lombard shore of Lake Maggiore, in the province of Varese. The history of Maccagno dates back to medieval times. Maccagno still occupies an important geographical position as the road starts from here which, passing through the Neggia Alp, arrives in Gambarogno, in Switzerland.

Forcora Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The distinctively scenic beauty of the Forcora Pass, not far from the Swiss border, attracted many sports fans and skiers in the thirties. Even today you can ski here in the winter season, as long as the snow conditions permit.
The green meadows of the Forcora Pass are also prized for their breathtaking views of the valleys around Luino and for a stopover in the clear air on a hike in this delightful setting. The Forcora Pass can be reached by car via a navigable panoramic road that branches off from Maccagno. At the top of the pass there is a large, comfortable car park, where coaches can also be parked.

Luino lakefront

Highlight • Lake

There is a sunny atmosphere in Luino - a city considered the most important center on the Lombard side of Lake Maggiore. In a wide plain at the outlet of the Valtravaglia at home, this cultural stronghold unites Mediterranean ambience with elegant splendor. Life pulsates in the industrial, commercial and tourist center, known beyond the city limits for its large international train station.
